I always feel luckier when I get a quick and easy win at the end of the month. The letters are in, the answer is out, the work is done, and it's time for celebratory cookies. Well, it wasn't quite that simple, but it was close enough.

Today's vocabulary answer means a report or study that elaborates on a particular subject, or a careful examination to learn information. The word can also mean to observe someone or something carefully. Today there is only one vowel.

There is no pressure to complete it by midnight. So don't treat this game as a casual newspaper crossword; you can come back to it later if you come up blank.

Here are some recent Wordle solutions:

Wordle shows five boxes in six columns each day, and it is up to you to decide which five-letter word is hidden in each box.

You will want to start with a strong word like ALERT (opens in a new tab)-one that contains multiple vowels, common consonants, and non-repeating letters Press Enter and the box will show correct or incorrect. If the box goes to ⬛️, that means the letter is not in the secret word at all. means the letter is in the word but not in that position. means that the correct letter is in the correct position.

Then, the answer is to use another "good" word to cover a common letter that was missed last time, while trying to avoid a letter that we now know for certain is not present in today's answer.

Then just use what you have learned to narrow down the correct word. You can try a total of 6 times, and you can only use actual words (so you cannot fill the box with EEEEE to see if there is an E). Letters can be repeated (e.g. BOOKS).
